Reply to comment by Baba_Yaga_Stonks in thermal expansion affecting climate change? by mjoninha
You are incorrect, halosteric (i.e., change in sea level due to salinity related changes in density) sea level change is definitely a thing. It's a smaller component than thermosteric changes, e.g. Durack et al., 2014 estimate the magnitude of halosteric changes to be 1/4 of the magnitude of thermosteric changes, but still significant.
